John Stott's Right Hand, Expanded and Updated

The story John Stott hoped would one day be told. Frances Whitehead was working for the BBC when Stott asked her to become his secretary.

For 55 years she was his right hand: gatekeeper, administrator, typist, encourager and enabler.

In his Will, Stott named her as his 'friend and Executor'. Their partnership--unique, effective, and not without humour--has been described as 'one of the greatest Christian partnerships of the 20th century'. But what lay behind the dogged determination, fiercely protective streak, occasional imperious tone, and ready, warm laughter Frances brought to her role?

This book tracks her life and glimpses her ancestry to find the answer.
